8th gen cpu will not work with 7th gen motherboard. you need a z370 mobo for that cpu to work

i7 8700k on a z270....? if you actually forced this CPU into the socket of a z270 board you most likely killed it.

Coffee lake is lga1151 same as z270 boards

It's LGA1151-v2 for Coffee Lake

No it is not, Coffee Lake is LGA1151v2 while Z270 sockets are LGA1151v1.

I see, how do they differentiate then? I'm pretty sure someone got cofeelake working on a z270 board.

They did but it took a lot of changes with BIOS mods just to get it to boot. Physically they have the same layout but the power requirements are different, I don't think they even changed the notches on the chip (I could be wrong there though) so it was a bad move on their part, making it easier for something like this to happen.

 

My biggest issue with those articles about someone doing that though is just because someone got a non overclockable i3/i5 to boot and after a lot of trial and error got it to be somewhat stable, people seem to have lost their minds and think you just go boop boop and bam suddenly you can overclock your 8700K on a Z270 board to 5GHz without issue while completely ignoring the actual stuff in the article. I'm not saying you're claiming that, just there seem to be a lot of people spouting that lately on various threads like its fact and easy to do

Btw i just swoped it out with a i7 4700 that whas in a different mother bord but haveing the exact same problem if you can pls help

A Z270 motherboard will ONLY accept 6000 and 7000 series chips. Putting anything else in there will basically kill it. I'm not sure how you even got a LGA1150 chip to fit in there.

It's possible since they have same layout, it's just that due to different power requirements some pins are disabled. It is however possible to enable them, but it is so NOT worth the hassle and a possible loss of a CPU if done incorrectly.

My point was that he wouldn't have damaged anything by putting that cpu in. Right?

Na man i did not put a 1150 in a 1151 its in a 1150 i just swapped all the parts out today

Ah, gotcha

So you've got the old motherboard, cpu, ram in the computer again and it still won't boot?

Did you connect all the power cables up completely? 4 or 8 pin CPU near the top as well?

That's questionable.

My knowledge on the exact layout of these chips is lacking at best, but if a pin that was not meant to receive direct power did receive it, it could be damaged. Even as little as 0.01 volts to the wrong pin can fry the chip. These are very "fragile" components after all.

Ok ive ben haveing this same problem sens i whas playing a game left for like 30 min and came back to it off and doing this on the 1150 mb and cpu

I see, either way if he put a 4th gen cpu in it then motherboard is damaged for sure.

Man thing have really gotten  out of control 

I never used a i7 4700 in my 1151 bord i just got the i7 8700k today ive ben haveing the same problem with the i7 4700 i thought that a new mother bord cpu and ram would fix it

Wow, you've really got to start doing some more research before just randomly throwing in parts. So lets recap.

 

1. Your 8700k WILL NOT WORK PERIOD IN your z270 motherboard. Quit trying. Won't happen.

 

2. If your i7 4700 ??? with an appropriate motherboard, if your computer doesn't post swapping essentials, but keeping your power supply the same... you might try swapping power supplies, sounds like that's the only common denominator now.

[TBA6ER]

I did that with the i7 4700

 but nothing happend still
